Best/Good Flying Types in Platinum?

What are some good Pokemon that can use Fly in Platinum? I'm having a hard time choosing one, so I'd like to hear what other people used. I also refuse to use a Staraptor, since I've used one before. I'm kind of in between Crobat and Drifblim...

Togekiss is a very unique, fun, and effective Pokemon to use. I looked it up and apparently in Platinum Cynthia will give you a Togepi egg at Route 230.

Agreeed. I have a Togetic right now in Platinum so far and it is really great. Togekiss looks really great and can learn a lot of great moves, like Flamethrower & Aura Sphere. It gets moves that cover all its weaknesses (except Electric), among many other types.

Togekiss or Staraptor. They both have amazing offensive stats, and their speed is decent too. Even though Staraptor is overused in D/P/Pt, it holds the highest offensive stats of all 5 of the regional birds (Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, and Unfezant)

Crobat is really fun to use. Plus you can actually utilize Fly in battles (Fly on Togekiss is meh). But personally, I would give Fly to an HM Pokemon. Tropius can learn Fly and 4 other HM moves, making him a very useful Pokemon that can save you the hassle of depositing Pokemon now and again just to use other HMs.

I truly love Togekiss which is in my Johto team (SS), but in Gen IV, I won't take a flying bird in my team, only because the pokemon I like the most are on this land and that I want a team that I'll cherish forever -poetic moment-
